Good luck on the $22. While I don't know your cars story, a $10,000 repair bill is not likely to be "recovered" and well, 99's are only getting older and "cheaper" on the used market. I would hazzard a blue book value of about $14-17k depending on private sale or trade in. Then again, it may have both a new top AND motor???? so maybe closer to $20 for private sale?
